Was There a Wuhan Lab Leak? Why an Inquiry Won’t Dig Out the Truth
What we are dealing with here is a set of professional classes doing everything in their power to preserve their own interests and the interests of the system that rewards them. And that requires strenuous efforts on their part to make sure we do not understand that policy is driven chiefly by greed and a craving for status, not by the common good or by a concern for truth and transparency. – Jonathan Cook
Why do those enablers, ( professional classes), think that I must have “the wool pulled over my eyes”?

The Egyptian study ( https://assets.researchsquare.com/files/rs-100956/v1/682247ca-ef49-4d68-aa3f-493a8fc9a056.pdf )showed 80% effectiveness as prophylaxis for Ivermectin among household members of confirmed infected persons.
This study is one of more than 40 such clinical trials that research the medication repurposing of an FDA approved an antiparasitic drug called Ivermectin. In view of the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic, some low-income nations for example, Egypt are surveying possible reuse of medications that may help lessen the pandemic severity.
So, ivermectin could suppress a diversity of the inammatory cytokines which had an important role in the intiation of the “cytokines storm”. The documentation in the literature therefore indicates that ivermectin might be useful in
the management of COVID-19 [28].
Physicians have directed the usage of ivermectin in a few synchronous trials in many countries [32], and announced that patients’ viral loads started declining very quickly after vermectin administering. We noticed that it has surprised physicians in clinical trials in many countries. Physicians’ noticed that just single dosage of Ivermectin could improve patient’s condition; however, some of them received a booster dose one week later. Rajter et al. [31] at the Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, submitted a dramatic,
statistically signicant improvement in mortality in 250 coronavirus patients involved in the Broward trial treated with
Ivermectin medication.
The study was approved by the Research Ethical Committee at the Faculty of medicine Benha University EGYPT. (REC 96/8Th. June 2020)ref.

This antibody is likely produced by a memory “b” cell that was previously exposed to the common cold, according to Raiees Andrabi, the study’s senior author and an investigator in the Scripps Research Institute’s Department of Immunology and Microbiology.
These cells are essential parts of the immune system and function by remembering diseases that had entered the body already.
A peer-reviewed study published in the academic journal Nature Communications
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_Communications ),
( https://www.nature.com/nature/volumes/593/issues/7860 ), investigated how the body’s immune system reacted to COVID-19 after it had already been exposed to other coronaviruses that are prevalent in the US and trigger the common cold. At least four such coronaviruses are known to exist in the US.

“it is the spike alone that induces the body to inappropriately produce blood clots where they do not belong.”The novel coronavirus’ spike protein plays additional key role in illness
In the new study, the researchers created a “pseudovirus” that was surrounded by SARS-CoV-2 classic crown of spike proteins, but did not contain any actual virus. Exposure to this pseudovirus resulted in damage to the lungs and arteries of an animal model—proving that the spike protein alone was enough to cause disease. Tissue samples showed inflammation in endothelial cells lining the pulmonary artery walls.https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.121.318902

French athletes contaminated by Covid-19 from October at the Wuhan Military Games?
Several French athletes have revealed in recent days that they have suffered symptoms of Covid-19 following the military Games which took place last October. This competition, in which more than 400 French athletes took part, took place in Wuhan, the Chinese epicenter of the pandemic. Olympic medalist Elodie Clouvel unequivocally believes that she has “already had the coronavirus”, as does her partner, the pentathlete Valentin Belaud. The controversy continues to grow.
The coronavirus could have struck without warning sooner than expected. Numerous testimonies and clues incriminate the holding of the Military Games in China, in Wuhan – the world’s first outbreak of Covid-19 – as a possible vector of contamination. Several French athletes have thus expressed that they suffered from the same symptoms as those of Covid-19 after their participation in the competition organized last October. Nearly 400 Habs took part in these Games, among the 10,000 athletes present in what turned out to be the starting point of the pandemic which has affected the whole world for several months.From hypotheses to hallway noise, the case has become a shock wave, which could seriously call into question the date of the first contamination with the virus until then estimated at November 17, 2019 in China, and December 27 in France. World champion and Olympic pentathlon runner-up Elodie Clouvel is therefore convinced of having contracted Covid-19 at the World Military Games. Asked by the local channel Télévision Loire 7 on March 25, the one who won gold during these Games assured that she did not fear having to go again to Asia for the Tokyo Olympic Games, since she and her companion (the pentathlete Valentin Belaud) had already been infected. “We were in Wuhan and then we all got sick. Valentin missed three days of training. It was very weird, I also had things that I hadn’t had before. We didn’t worry more than that because we didn’t talk about it yet. ”
Another French military athlete on condition of anonymity confirmed to BFM TV that he had also fallen ill (fever, severe aches) and had to be bedridden for three days on his return from China. ” We had contact with the military doctor who told us, ‘I think you had it because there are a lot of people from this delegation who were sick’ ” relates Elodie Clouvel. According to BFM TV , no French athlete has been tested after Wuhan, and it is not expected that they will be in the future. ” We are told: ‘there is no risk, you left on October 28 and the virus arrived on November 1 ‘ “, specifies another anonymous athlete at Le Parisien .At the Ministry of the Armed Forces, athletes were asked not to answer questions on this subject before sending a press release on the health of members of the French military team. ” Within the French delegation to the World Military Games, there were no cases declared to the Army Health Service of influenza or hospitalization during and on return from WMDs, which could be similar, a posteriori , to cases of Covid-19 “, reacted the Ministry of the Armed Forces, which does not specify whether or not Elodie Clouvel was in contact with military doctors to be tested or to compare her symptoms at the time with those of the new coronavirus . “The French delegation benefited from medical follow-up, before and during the games, with a dedicated medical team made up of nearly twenty personnel, “the ministry added, recalling that” when the World Military Summer Games (JMME) took place from October 18 to 27, 2019, in Wuhan in China, the epidemic linked to Covid-19 was not known at the time “and that” the first case of Covid-19 was not reported by the China to the WHO, as of December 31, 2019 “.
The case does not pose a question only in France. In the United States, the thesis of an arrival of the virus on the territory by its military delegation on the return from the Games has already surfaced. This thesis was supported in particular by the words of the spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who had explained between the lines of a Tweet that the Covid-19 could have been brought to American soil by the military team having took part in the Wuhan rally. In Luxembourg or Sweden, other examples of sick athletes have surfaced in recent days. ” But none of the people tested gave a positive result ” to Covid-19 hammers the communication service of the Swedish armed forces.The variants
Just when the vaccines were going to save the world …. a new variant is discovered.

Here’s how a 74-year-old might be treated for Covid-19
To make its monoclonal antibody therapy, Regeneron scientists selected two antibodies that best neutralized a version of the novel coronavirus in the lab. Antibodies are proteins the body makes to fight infection. The scientists copied those two antibodies to make a treatment for Covid-19.
The investigational cocktail, known by its investigational name REGN-COV2, has been in clinical trials since June. On Tuesday, the company announced early data from a trial with 275 non-hospitalized patients showing the treatment was safe and seemed to reduce viral levels and improve symptoms. The data, issued via news release, have not been peer-reviewed.The greatest improvements were seen in patients who had not mounted a natural response to the coronavirus infection.

How Federal Oversight Of Gain-Of-Function Research Is BypassedThe U.S. government paused funding of gain-of-function research in 2014 after lab workers were accidentally exposed to anthrax by the Centers for Disease Control, according to The New York Times. The incident came on the heels of widespread scientific outcry in 2011 when it was revealed that laboratories in Wisconsin and the Netherlands were intentionally modifying the H5N1 bird flu virus so it could more effectively jump between ferrets.
Federally funded gain-of-function research resumed in 2017 after new oversight procedures were implemented. The review framework split oversight responsibilities between two groups — the funding agency (the NIAID in the case of the EcoHealth grant) and the P3CO Review Committee, an interdisciplinary group convened by HHS.
Ecohealth has a history of manipulating bat-based coronaviruses. The group’s president, Peter Daszak, said as much during a podcast interview filmed in Singapore just weeks before the first reported cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan in December 2019.
The NIH terminated the EcoHealth grant in April 2020. NIH deputy director for extramural research, Michael Lauer, told the group in a letter that the agency “does not believe that the current project outcomes align with the program goals and agency priorities.”
Fauci said during a hearing before the House Energy & Commerce Committee in June that the EcoHealth grant was canceled “because the NIH was told to cancel it.”
“I don’t know the reason, but we were told to cancel it,” Fauci said.
Fauci told Politico following the hearing that former President Donald Trump’s White House ordered the NIH to cancel the grant.
When gain-of-function funding was paused in 2014, 21 research projects were halted. But the NIH created exceptions for 10 of those, according to The New York Times.
After the funding continued in 2017, only two projects have been approved in accordance with the P3CO Framework. Both projects deal with the influenza virus, according to the NIH.

He also demanded that Washington provide “an explanation” for a respiratory disease outbreak in northern Virginia, along with the outbreak of the “vaping disease”, which occurred shortly before the pandemic began, and has been used in Chinese media to spread uncertainty about the virus’s origins.

Network Medicine Framework for Identifying Drug Repurposing Opportunities for COVID-19Given the compressed timescales, the traditional methodologies relying on iterative development, experimental testing, clinical validation, and approval of new compounds are not feasible. A more realistic strategy relies on drug repurposing, requiring us to identify clinically approved drugs, with known toxicities and side effects, that may have a therapeutic effect in COVID-19 patients.
Finally, we manually inspected the joint ranking list, removing drugs with significant toxicities, eliminating those not appropriate, and removing lower-ranked members of the same drug class (with some exceptions). Through this process, we arrived at a list of 86 drugs selected from the top 10% of the total combined rank list, representing our final repurposing candidates for COVID-19 (Table 2). The selection contains drugs that are used for disorders of the respiratory (e.g., theophylline, montelukast) and cardiovascular (e.g., verapamil, atorvastatin) systems; antibiotics used to treat viral (e.g., ribavirin, lopinavir), parasitic (e.g., hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, praziquantel), bacterial (e.g., rifaximin, sulfanilamide), mycotic (e.g.,fluconazole), and mycobacterial (e.g., isoniazid) infections; and immunomodulating/anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., interferon-β, auranofin, montelukast, colchicine); anti-proteasomal drugs (e.g., bortezomib, carfilzomib); and a range of other less obvious drugs that warrant exploration (e.g., aminoglutethimide, melatonin, levothyroxine, calcitriol, selegiline, deferoxamine, mitoxantrone, metformin, nintedanib, cinacalcet, and sildenafil, among others (Table 2). Our final list includes 11 previously proposed13,43 potential drug-repurposing candidates for COVID-19, and 21 drugs that are currently being tested in clinical trials (Table 2).
After eliminating drugs based on toxicity, delivery, and appropriateness of their use in COVID-19 patients, we selected 81 approved drugs as candidates for drug repurposing.

Covid in India
May 14, 2021India:
This is a story of foolish rulers, completely hollowed out institutions, and a pathetically irrational and tribal society.The COVID crisis is minting money for the merchants of death, leaving millions in desperate financial situations.
India’s Hunger Games: India has passed a critical state, from which there is no going back–the institutions that the British left behind now wholly hollowed out, devoid of their original meaning. They have been filled with tribalism, sadism, S&M, exploitation & irrationality.
WHY?

Therefore, here is my two cents.https://taibbi.substack.com/p/fact-checking-takes-another-beating
Fact-checking was a huge boon when it was an out-of-sight process quietly polishing the turd of industrial reportage. When companies dragged it out in public and made it a beast of burden for use in impressing audiences, they defamed the tradition.
…. fact-checkers don’t exist to get things right 100% of the time. They’re there as a threadbare, last-ditch safety mechanism, which news organizations employ as a means of preventing public face-plants.
However, the public is regularly misinformed about what fact-checkers do. In most settings — especially at daily newspapers — fact-checking, if used at all, is the equivalent of the bare-minimum collision insurance your average penny-pinching car renter buys. There’s usually just enough time to flag a few potential dangers for litigation and/or major, obvious mistakes about things like dates, spellings of names, wording of quotes, whether a certain event a reporter describes even happened, etc.For anything more involved than that, which is most things, fact-checkers have to scramble to make tough judgment calls. The best ones tend to vote for killing anything that might blow up in the face of the organization later on. Good checkers are there to help perpetuate the illusion of competence. They’re professional ass-coverers, whose job is to keep it from being obvious that Wolf Blitzer or Matt Taibbi or whoever else you’re following on the critical story of the day only just learned the term hanging chad or spike protein or herd immunity. In my experience they’re usually pretty great at it, but their jobs are less about determining fact than about preventing the vast seas of ignorance underlying most professional news operations from seeping into public view

In December 2014, a three-day symposium was organized by the Volkswagen Foundation with the Max Planck Society at Hanover, Germany. Concerns were “raised that the GoFR strains themselves were a threat to public health in two ways: First, because the knowledge of how to tweak an influenza virus into a potential pandemic pathogen (PPP) could be used by bioterrorists or for biological warfare purposes. Second, because the tweaked viruses could escape (or could be stolen) from the laboratory and could cause a pandemic.”[8]
Volker Stollorz maintained at the symposium that “the public knows that with the ever-increasing experimental power and the growing diversity of scientific disciplines nobody can claim to grasp precisely what may happen.” Said Stollorz: “Researchers who want to perform experiments creating man-made, new, more virulent, and transmissible microbial life forms not existing in nature have to first and foremost acknowledge the existence of the society they experiment in.” A reporter at the forum characterized the problem thusly: “Societies need time to understand and digest the new science because the regulation has to adapt constantly to the new realities made possible by scientists.”[8]

Project Veritas is an American far-right[37] activist group founded by James O’Keefe in 2010.[41] The group produces deceptively edited videos[24] of its undercover operations,[16] which use secret recordings[17] in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups.[49][50] Project Veritas also uses entrapment[23] to generate bad publicity for its targets,[2] and has propagated disinformation[14] and conspiracy theories[57] in its videos and operations.
